If Milosevic does not call off his attack and stop the slaughter of innocent men, women and children, we are determined to act to diminish the military power that he has turned ruthlessly toward the Kosovo people and help the Kosovar Albanians win the safety, security and self-government they deserve.
I have never stopped fighting for an unshakable commitment to our veterans... It's that year-after-year commitment to a strong American defense that makes me so concerned when others try to run down America's military for political advantage in an election year.
